According to Wasin, on the day of the murder, he and Preeyanuch, Kawita and Jirarat rented a Honda CRV to pick the victim near her apartment in Khon Kaen, claiming they wanted to meet her to discuss a job offer. But after the victim got in the car, Preeyanuch strangled her to death. The four drove around Khon Kaen to buy equipment to destroy the evidence such as plastic bags and a saw to dismember the body.

After that, they rented a room at a hotel downtown. Wasin said that Preeyanuch was the person who also dismembered the body. They moved the parts back to the car in plastic bins and buried them in the forest three kilometers from Khao Suan Kwang district village.
